I agree with regards to connecting to the server. Surely all these continued connection negociations must generate more overhead than establishing and holding a connection till leaving the multiplayer area?

Hi,
for many people it is difficult to be online all the time. When I came home I log on get new turns, do mine and send them out. That`s pretty cool. What I would support though is that more players can play in one battle, and still it could be turn based.

To further add to the feeling of being disconnected, isolated and alone, there is no active player list, showing who else is alone.

The Opponents Wanted tab shows everybody who wants a game no matter who they're playing (if you're in their requested level range, that is). Also, I've found that hitting the Private button in the Chat tab gives a much longer list than those people in the Common channel, so my assumption is that that is all the people online at the time, and probably a Private Message function as well.

Try joining channel Common. It's not as lively as Battle.net, but you still shouldn't have much trouble finding somebody to talk to.

I agree completely. I moved to Tennessee nearly five years ago, and it wasn't until last week that there were so much as plans for a commercial broadband line within 100 miles of my house.

Ah, didn't know there was one! Found the button now, but they really need to place it where it grabs more attention. Or have a popup asking if you wish you join the common chat when you click the Chat tab.

Bah, you Americans with your stone age communications. Europe is way better off, and apparently this game was developed by Russians.
